Judge Judy and CBS Sued by 2 Women Who Launched Court Show

1/22/2018 11:50 AM PST

EXCLUSIVE

Judge Judy^[1] is in the middle of a lawsuit, but this time she's not presiding ... she's the defendant.

The Estate of Sandi Spreckman along with Kaye Switzer are suing Judy and CBS, claiming they helped develop her insanely popular court show back in 1995 and they were cut out of all the profits ... especially when Judy sold the show's library^[2] to CBS for a reported $95 million.

Switzer and Spreckman were actually staffers on "The People's Court" during Wapner's run and got in touch with Judy and brought her to Larry Little, the producer who got the show up and running. The 2 women were dismissed early on.

They are gunning for $4.75 million, minimum.

We reached out to Judy's rep. So far, no comment.

Chevy Chase Back Into Rehab For His 30-Year Tuneup

Chevy Chase has checked into the infamous Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center in Minnesota to treat his continuing abuse of alcohol. In typical PR fashion the excuse for the man who was Fletch will make you wretch. His rep stated it's only a "tune-up" because the aging actor "wants to be the best he can be." Well, we think too much "bottoms-up" has clearly made him "the worst that he is" and so into rehab he goes.
